Chaptarr
Hi,
As readarr was officially announced as being retired one might look for alternatives beside lazy librarian. Well there is one in the making called “Chaptarr”. It will soon be available for testing.
We should keep an eye on this reddit post:

There is also a discord:

Hopefully it does not turn up to be a flop.
Kind regards,
QD

I’ve amended the title of your request from “Readarr is retired but...” to “Chaptarr“ as it it’ll be easier to find for those searching for existing requests.

This has gone from nice to have to soon to essential to have right now.
I tried installing LL and it’s awful…. going back to Readarr and trying to add rreading-glasses.

Seconded! Readarr is unusable now even with the public instances of the forked metadata library. Hosting a rreading-glasses instance and/or adding a Readarr fork while we wait for Chaptarr could be solid solutions.
